Employers looking to recruit new staff will often find the Jobcentre Plus one of the best places to start their search.  Employers using the modernised Jobcentre Plus offices on Oak Street in Accrington will no longer find the old style boards covered in vacancy cards, instead they will find their vacancies displayed on state of the art electronic Jobpoints with touch screen control. Additionally all the Jobcentre staff have computer terminals giving instant access to over half a million jobs advertised throughout the UK. Couple that with some 400,000 available training opportunities, and you get some idea of the range of business accessible through the Jobcentre Plus organisation here in Hyndburn.

At your local Jobcentre Plus office covering Accrington, Great Harwood, Rishton and Langho, the Vacancy Service Manager, Rodney Poucher, can tailor Jobcentre Plus services to suit the needs of the employer. Perhaps the circulation of your vacancy needs to reach a wider audience – throughout the East Lancs district, the Northwest region, nationally or even beyond. All your vacancies will be displayed on our Internet web site – which is linked to this web site.

Would it help if the Jobcentre plus staff handled the receipt of your application forms? Sifted and graded them before forwarding them on to you? Short-listed the applicants?

Would you like to interview applicants at the Jobcentre? There are excellent interviewing facilities, backed up by clerical support for you.

Perhaps if you are not sure if your applicant will be suitable for that vacancy – a Work Trial might be the answer, up to 15 working days to try the job without you having to pay wages…Or the New Deal programme in which a subsidy can be paid to you for their first six months work….

Remember all Jobcentre Plus services are FREE at the point of delivery.
